Options for Full-Day Services for Children Participating in Head Start (Research Report)
Lorelei Brush, Sharon Gennis Deich, Kerry Traylor, Nancy M. Pindus

This paper examines in depth the ways in which full-day services are offered by looking at eight Head Start grantees that fund extended hours. It (1) documents alternative approaches to full-day service provision; (2) identifies the strengths and weaknesses of those approaches for the children and families served, for the Head Start grantees, and for federal program administrators; (3) describes the important policy choices for federal Head Start administrators in expanding full-day services; and (4) clarifies issues and research questions that should be further evaluated.
